What is FearAlert's Canadian sentiment score?

The TSX Composite market's emotional barometer

The Canada Fear & Greed Index is a composite sentiment score for the Toronto Stock Exchange, calculated from five market factors using the S&P/TSX Composite (^GSPTSE) and iShares S&P/TSX 60 ETF (XIU.TO). It scores overall Canadian market sentiment from 0 (Extreme Fear) to 100 (Extreme Greed).

Whether you're monitoring TSX equities for contrarian entry points or managing portfolio risk, FearAlert turns Canadian market sentiment data into an automated email alert so you never miss the signal.
